I’ve started recreating many of my numerical model tutorials for introductory physics. In the beginning, I had students use spreadsheets to create models. Of course, spreadsheets aren’t very good for ...

Have you ever sat down and thought “I wonder if a trebuchet could launch a projectile at supersonic speeds?” Neither have we. That’s what separates [David Eade] from the rest of us. He didn’t just ask ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

I wish Angry Birds had been around when I was teaching high school physics. Please don’t think of the game as a hate crime against hogs, or an avian anger management program—instead, think of it as a ...

Boys have a natural advantage at physics because their ability to ‘pee’ up walls helps then understand projectile motion, academics have controversially claimed. So-called ‘playful urination practices ...

Save guides, add subjects and pick up where you left off with your BBC account. Brush up on your projectile motion knowledge and understanding with our National 5 Physics revision article.
